- Remember the striper versions on porn sites?
  
  I never understood who the market was. Like why would you want a little stripper clippy/bonzo buddy assistant?

The sad thing is this ain't that old.

I'm even older. I was around to see the very first internet viral meme. That CGI dancing baby. I saw it even before it was featured on Ally McBeal, thus also starting the tradition of killing a viral meme when it hit mainstream.

- I was there when All Your Base was created, 3000 years ago...

- I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Viral memes on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched CGI babies dance in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.

I was online before the cat wanted a cheeseburger.

People who are old wouldn't remember these since they're too new

Older. I'm old enough to remember the cutting edge upgrade to the 36k modem.

- I've sent emails over a 1200 baud modem line.

People would use these templates to create meandering comic style blog posts and present them as memes. It seems like they were the first generation of memes that went fully mainstream and imo were very bad because people could not help but make the comics very long and boring.

I grew up around the mlg meme era
